Melt butter on a low flame in a small sauce pan. Add garlic and saute on low for about 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and shut off flame.

Spray the bottom of a baking dish lightly with cooking spray. Place the fish on top and season with salt and pepper. Pour the lemon butter mixture on the fish and top with fresh parsley. Bake at 400° until cooked, about 15 minutes.

This was so yummy! It was my first time making fish ever, and it was easy and very tasty! i used Flounder ( being a fish novice) and my house smelled like fish for days ....so im going to try the tilapia next! My new favorite site!

We made this the other night and it tasted great and was very easy! We topped the fish with about 2T of capers in addition to the parsley, tasted almost like a fish version of chicken piccata! My kids even ate it, a success! Yum!

We had this tonight. I used flounder since that is what I had on hand. It was fantastic and so quick to put together. Even my kids raved about it. This will definitely be a staple for our family and with fresh parsley growing in the garden, it will be one more great recipe to use with it.

I did all but lick my plate after dinner tonight! Quick, simple and oh so flavorful! I try to incorporate fish into my diet as often as possible; generally when my husband is working nights. This is will be something I make again and again. Served with asparagus; but saved enough to make the steamed asparagus w/ poached egg from this blog for breakfast tomorrow!

OMG!! This was sooo good. My 6-year old picky eater even asked for seconds. The only difference from making this was instead of heating up the house with the oven, I used my grilled pan and it came out delicious. I will definitely make it again. . . Gina, thank you so much for sharing ALL this wonderful recipes. :)

I'm writing from Guadalajara, Mexico! I made this recipe today, and I love it it was delicious! I served rice and green beans (got that recipe from here too!) as side dishes. My girls loved the green beans and the fish was my favorite. Thanks!

I'm making Talapia tonight and I was looking for something easy % different. This sounds good. I usually bread it & bake it. But I don't need all tat bread. I've been a lifetime member on W.W for many yrs(I'm 85.) but I just got a laptop about a yr ago and just discovered this site. I've made a few recipes and we loved everything. I'm looking forword to this fish'Thank you Gina .

Gina you are my hero!!! Just found your site and Im already in love :) When cooking fish or fried foods,....I put a cup of vinegar on the stove along with cups ( of vinegar) all through my home to eliminate odor and it Works every time. Can't wait to try this dish and 100 others!!!!!!

you've done it again Gina! I was bored making my white fish the same old boring way & when my hubby got tilapia I was all set to use bread crumbs AGAIN. this recipe is amazing! I can't wait to try it on flounder and grouper and definitely tilapia again! thanks!

Save a step by adding the butter without melting along with the rest of the ingredients directly into the baking dish and put it in the oven. After 5 minutes take it out. The butter will be melted and you can then mix the ingredients and make sure the filets are well coated. This technique saves washing the extra pan.

REALLY yummy. I am sensitive to fish flavors and I loved this. I doubled the garlic and used thawed frozen fillets. I also didn't have parsley on hand so I sprinkled some herbes de provence. Served with steamed carrots and broccoli and a kale and apple salad. The carrots or broccoli scooped up with a garlic fish bite was really really good. This would be good with garlic rice if you aren't watching carbs.

This has become my favorite fish dish. I have made it about once a week for the past month. I've added a few things along the way. I season some asparagus with onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper and a little olive oil and i lay that on the pan first along with sliced mushrooms and onions and then i put the fish on top of that and pur the butter garlic sauce on top! I cook it for about 20 mins....it is delish! And then you have the asparagus, onion and mushroom as a side dish...really good! Thanks for the recipe!

I am new to Skinnytaste and this was the first recipe that I've tried. I made it last night using mangrove snapper that we'd caught over the summer. One word, delicious! There was a little left over, so having fish tacos for lunch today :) Thanks Gina, you rock!
